Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

WWE Studios, this movie is more like a headache. Directed by Michael W. Watkins, the movie was WWE first attempt at comedy, after years of producing action and horror flicks. The movie was released in select theaters, but the movie quickly failed. Honestly, I really did had high hopes for this movie, at the time, but after watching it. I have to say, it deserve the bad praise, it got. The movie is about 35 year old orphan, Walter Krunk (WWE's Wrestler, Paul Wight AKA the Big Show) whom destroy the kitchen of the orphanage in which he grew up in, and works. Due to that reason, he has a few days to raise enough money in order to save the orphanage from closing down due to the damage. I guess, Big Show will play the annoying Jar Jar Binks & Al Garner type of doofus here, where he puts everybody in danger and cause most of the problems. Somehow, Mixed Martial Arts manager, Eddie Sullivan (Mark Feuerstein) thinks Walter, the gentle giant would be great for an oncoming fight tournament for a $100,000 prize. In my opinion, the Big Show does not have the body for a MMA fighter nor the skills. I don't even think WWE knows how Mixed Martial Arts even works, as they think it's something out of street fighting borderline pro-wrestling brawling. How many MMA events have you ever gone to, where a man that looks like Goliath, manage by a nun named Mary, (Melora Hardin) fight an 'over the top' Jewish stereotype in a Jewish synagogue?! Not much, right. Oy vey, that was pretty offended. What's next, a battle royal at a mosque!?! Honestly, the next bout is fighting a bear which was worst, watching with all the bad edits of footage of a real bear intermixed with a man in a bear costume. Is fighting a bear even legal? I like how Walter goes on beating up defenseless people and steals their property until the big climatic fight. Walter beating up the kid's dad, who was just trying to put an end to fights taking place in his backyard was pretty harsh. The villain is just as unrealistic as a MMA fighter as the Big Show. I like how the villain fighter name is Redrum. (Lester Speight of Terry Tate commercial fame). I guess the writer just finish watching Stanley Kubrick's 1980's Shining when he thought of that character. Also the main villain, Memphis Earl (Dennis Farina) is cartoony and half of the things, he does, doesn't make sense. I like that he kidnap a kid, and start publicity choking him in a public event. Very smart. The movie seen to be missing a lot of logic. The characters crash a bus in a field in a big explosion and they just walk away from it. Also, how can Walter have never experienced life outside the orphanage? This is never explained or explored. The movie is so out there with its humor that it's more like a miss than a hit in the funny bone. The jokes about Walter flatulence problem are really borderline unfunny potty humor. It's the lowest in the low. I guess, the movie target audience might be children since the movie is PG-13, but the movie is bit too slugged for their attention spans, and not inventive enough to keep adults engaged. The sub-plot of Eddie and Mary falling in love with each other is so forced. The movie is so predictable in its outcome, that you wish that more to "save the house" plot trope. The acting from most of the cast is mostly alright. Anybody that know the Big Show on WWE television, know that he can play the gentle giant clown. It's not his fault that the movie was bad. Still, the movie was so low-budget. That, the movie basically made turn Walter Krank into the Big Show toward the end, to save money on production cost. So, it wasn't much of an acting streak for him. He was actually pretty likable in the movie. Overall: It's not a must watch for any WWE fan, as it has nothing to do with pro-wrestling. It's entertaining, somewhat, but it's nowhere near, where it should be. If you're looking for alright WWE comedy movie, check out 2011's 'That's What I Am'. It's decent and it has a lot more depth than this movie. Still, if you need a movie on in the background to snore. Here, you go. That is a Big Show.

It may not be too original, but it's been a long time since I have seen a movie this well acted and clean. The Big Show can actually act. The man has some serious acting chops, exhibiting a range of emotion not required in hardcore action movies.The movie screams corny when you read the plot of the movie and realize what company is behind it, but it isn't. WWE finally made a pretty good movie. Even the sound was unusually crisp and reminded me just how good my home theater system can make a movie sound.This movie is in the tradition of the best Disney movies. Disney should make movie this good and of this quality, but they don't do it anymore.If this crew gets together again and makes another movie, me and mine will be right there waiting.Good job, Mr Wright.

I just finished watching Knucklehead and I absolutely loved it. It is hilarious most of the time and very sad at times, and I really love the funny and sad twists. I was expecting it to be just another time-wasting movie that will depend entirely on its main actor's fame, but it definitely surpassed my expectations.All the actors in the movie were great. Mark Feuerstein and Merola Hardin really hit the spot and play their characters perfectly, and so did all the other actors in the movie.Paul Wight "The Big Show" surprisingly is a brilliant actor. He is hilarious and portrays his character's emotions flawlessly. I'd go as much as saying he's a much better actor than he is a wrestler.Critics and people who are into movies like The Godfather should avoid this movie and not start criticizing and nominating it for worst movie in history as this is just a comedy for the family.So buy/rent it for the weekend, sit on the couch with your family, get your pop corn ready, and prepare to start laughing at a giant acting like a 12 year old! Gotta love Knucklehead!

I wasn't expecting much from this movie a typical comedy with a famous wrestling star. It Felt like a remake Nacho Libre. What did surprise me was The Big Shows performance, His emotions in it really felt sincere this chap CAN actually act in fact i would go as far as saying he would make a better actor than one of his wrestling performance acts. its not a side splitting movie but does have its moments. In all, The actors did a good job, The cast was good. The comedy was funny in parts, the story wasn't anything new though. in all a well acted fun family movie not just aimed at wrestling fans as in fact there is not actually a lot of wrestling in it which i am actually glad of as when there was wrestling scenes it was the poorest performance of acting in the movie. You certainly wouldn't think of big show as a professional wrestler, yes the scenes were that bad!. Move over Mr Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) there's a new wrestling actor in town.I would rate @ 6.5
